Hypostmus What

[doesdavid]

I lucked into what I believe is a Hypostmus plecko. I was being sold as a common sailfin, untill I noticed the 8 spine dorsel fin. Going through the various species I have it down to I think,Hypostomus plecostomoides, Hypostomus robinii, Hypostomus micromaculatus, or Hypostomus cordovae. I do not believe it is the Hypostomus plecostomus due to the ridges in the sail. Can anyone help me to name this plecko?

Unfortunately, those species are quite difficult to tell apart - I agree that it is

Hypostomus

, but without some other information such as capture location, I don't think we can tell which species it is.

Unfortunatley the store I got it from said it was a drop off from another customer, so the catch location is totally unknown. The only thing I can figure since I'm in Toronto Canada, it had to be mixed with some common inports, sold, returned, then sold again. So what do I do flip a coin, to list a species.
I lent my good camera to a freind for the weekend, when I get it back, I will take some better pics.

Hypostomus sp. LDA24 I think.

Matches visually, and from an area with frequent ornamental fish exports.
